From our friends at the NRA:
Animal “Rights”
Activists Back at it in Trenton! Assemblyman Anthony Chiappone (D-31) is following in the footsteps of former legislators who proposed ending fishing and hunting in New Jersey by removing sportsmen and farmers from the New Jersey Fish & Game Council, thus creating a non-lethal committee within the council to deal with so-called “wildlife conflicts.” A1202, sponsored by Assemblyman Chiappone would stack the Fish & Game Council with five individuals recommended to the Governor by acknowledged anti-fishing and anti-hunting organizations: The New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance, The Bear Education and Resource Group, and the Humane Society of the United States. The five anti-fishing and anti-hunting nominees would be based upon their, “experience in environmental protection or other fields relevant to animal welfare and with a background in the preservation of wildlife.” A1202 is just one more attempt by animal “rights” extremists to destroy our outdoor heritage. Please contact your Assembly member today and respectfully urge him or her to oppose this legislation.
